Smart Cities need Smart Consumers: Changing energy efficiency and consumer behaviour in the home (We are FULL! Sorry)

During the joint conference AISE and CECED want to share their experience and vision on sustainable lifestyle. We believe that smart cities are inhabited by smart consumers who can rationally shape their everyday behaviour to take advantage of the opportunities offered by increased energy efficiency.
The first part of the event will focus on the smart policy that is already in place and how it can be implemented to get the desired results. In the second part we will focus on smart shopping and smart use of products. We will examine the role of voluntary initiatives in the detergents industry and the potential of smart technology developed by the household appliance industry. To conclude we will investigate how the retailers can promote sustainability and how consumers respond to it.
